{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2017-3163","details":"When using the Index Replication feature, Apache Solr nodes can pull index files from a master/leader node using an HTTP API which accepts a file name. However, Solr before 5.5.4 and 6.x before 6.4.1 did not validate the file name, hence it was possible to craft a special request involving path traversal, leaving any file readable to the Solr server process exposed. Solr servers protected and restricted by firewall rules and/or authentication would not be at risk since only trusted clients and users would gain direct HTTP access.","modified":"2025-09-08T16:44:04Z","published":"2017-08-30T14:29:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2017-3163"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2017-3163"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10031"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2017-3163"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"lucene-solr","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/lucene-solr@3.6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1~esm2?arch=source&distro=trusty/esm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]}],"versions":["3.6.2+dfsg-1","3.6.2+dfsg-2","3.6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1~esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"availability":"Available with Ubuntu Pro (Infra-only): https://ubuntu.com/pro","binaries":[{"binary_name":"liblucene3-contrib-java","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_name":"liblucene3-java","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_name":"libsolr-java","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_name":"solr-common","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_name":"solr-jetty","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"},{"binary_name":"solr-tomcat","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu0.1~esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2017/UBUNTU-CVE-2017-3163.json"}},{"package":{"name":"lucene-solr","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/lucene-solr@3.6.2+dfsg-8ubuntu0.1+esm1?arch=source&distro=esm-apps/xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.6.2+dfsg-7","3.6.2+dfsg-8","3.6.2+dfsg-8ubuntu0.1","3.6.2+dfsg-8ubuntu0.1+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"liblucene3-contrib-java","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-8ubuntu0.1+esm1"},{"binary_name":"liblucene3-java","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-8ubuntu0.1+esm1"},{"binary_name":"libsolr-java","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-8ubuntu0.1+esm1"},{"binary_name":"solr-common","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-8ubuntu0.1+esm1"},{"binary_name":"solr-jetty","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-8ubuntu0.1+esm1"},{"binary_name":"solr-tomcat","binary_version":"3.6.2+dfsg-8ubuntu0.1+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2017/UBUNTU-CVE-2017-3163.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
